The Retreat at Covington

Karol

I'm here and it's going fine. We have entertainment a couple of times a week, somebody playing music and singing. The staff is good. My apartment is larger than most senior living apartments. It's got two bedrooms, one is a living room, kitchen area, and one is a bedroom, closet, bathroom area. They have a library. On the ground floor they have a living room kind of thing. They let me have my dog. They have a dog park. The problem is I'm on the second floor and I can hardly walk, and I've got to walk down the long hall to the elevator. The food is delicious. They have happy hour, they have wine, and they have a singer.

The staff is professional, personable, compassionate, attentive, and quick to respond to needs. Each staff person, regardless of job description, is quick to respond to the needs of the resident. The residents are known by name and respected by the staff. The rooms are large and attractive, the outdoor spaces are inviting and beautifully landscaped. The atmosphere is peaceful and uplifting.

I toured and I liked their programs and entertainment. They had social events and they were having a little concert while I was there. The staff was very nice. The dining area seemed to be a central facility, but the building was multistory. The elevators, I didn't know if that was a good idea for seniors. This place wasn't as aesthetically pleasing. The residents seemed happy while they were watching the concert.

My sister is here. I'm very pleased. They are very friendly, very helpful, and very efficient. When I stepped inside their community they verified my identification, and then the staff took me to the entrance to see my sister. When I went into that department everybody was extremely nice and very friendly. I sat with my sister while she had dinner and she enjoyed it very much. She kept telling me how nice everybody was. Her room is very, very nice. Everything is very clean, and she seems to be very happy. There are a lot of activities that my sister is not involved in because she's in the memory care. But there's bingo and card games and they all eat together in the dining room, and they seem to be very much by each other's company.

I toured for my mother. It was very nice. The coordinator was very informative and made sure that we saw different types of rooms - the 1-bedroom, the studio bedrooms, and the 2-bedroom apartments. She was very informative and very cordial. The staff was very good with showing us around including the dining area. She also offered us to come back and eat at the place with them to see how the food tastes. The whole place was very clean. It met all our standards. The dining area was very clean. They showed us what the menu was. If you don't want what's on the menu, you can order. But you had to wait a little while to get special orders. The rooms tell the difference that everybody has. You can decorate your room however you want with your own furniture. They had a library, a movie room, and a place where they could do activities. They had an outside patio where they could get out and just enjoy the view. Everything was in line with what we were looking for, to be honest.

It has been fantastic. They're wonderful. They're very informative, very friendly, and very warm. The food was fantastic and the kitchen staff would come out to your table and take your order. They're very quick about serving you right away. My uncle gets three meals a day and they have a lot of social activities. They have the best library with a fireplace and leather chairs than any of the other facilities. The staff is incredible. They're all helping each other and they always stop and ask if I need anything or if my uncle needs anything. His apartment is a studio and it's all hardwood floor. It's very modern and in fantastic shape. The building is beautiful. They have a fountain outside and his window on the third floor is right outside the fountain, so he leaves his window open and he can hear the fountain in his room.
